Traffic Segmentation
Traffic segmentation is used to limit traffic flow from a single port to a group of ports on either a single Switch (in standalone mode) or a group of ports on
another switch in a switch stack.This method of segmenting the flow of traffic is similar to using VLANs to limit traffic, but is more restrictive. It provides a
method of directing traffic that does not increase the overhead of the Master switch CPU.
In the Configuration folder open the
QoS
folder and click
Traffic Segmentation
, to view the screen shown below.
Figure 6- 54. Current Traffic Segmentation Table
Click on the
Setup
button to open the
Setup Forwarding Ports
page, as shown below.
Figure 6- 55. Setup Forwarding Ports window
This page allows you to determine which port on a given switch in a switch stack will be allowed to forward packets to other ports on that switch.
Configuring traffic segmentation on the AT-9724TS is accomplished in two parts. First, you specify a switch from a switch stack by using the
Unit
pull-down
menu, and then a port from that switch, using the
Port
pull-down menu.Then specify a second switch from the switch stack, and then you select which ports (or
different ports on the same switch,) on that switch that you want to be able to receive packets from the switch and port you specified in the first part.
Clicking the
Apply
button will enter the combination of transmitting port and allowed receiving ports into the Switch’s Traffic Segmentation table.
The
Unit
drop-down menu at the top of the page allows you to select a switch from a switch stack using that switch’s Unit ID.The
Port
drop-down menu
allows you to select a port from that switch.This is the port that will be transmitting packets.
The
Unit
drop-down menu under the Setup Forwarding ports heading allows you to select a switch from a switch stack using that switch’s Unit ID.The
Forward Port
click boxes allow you to select which of the ports on the selected switch will be able to forward packets.These are the ports that will be
allowed to receive packets from the port specified above.
Click

to enter the settings into the Switch’s
Traffic Segmentation
table.
